orejones,

I have always liked Gene Hackman when ever he appears- there's some kind of projected energy that I like. It's difficult to explain, but you just know that anyone around him isn't getting away with anything- he sees through it.

The actor I somehow pair with Hackman- probably because he is also under appreciated is Robert Duvall- the introverted side.

Marcello too is wonderful and always seem to be on the verge of boiling over into humour. I saw "Intervista" recently and the scenes of his and Fellini's the visit to Anita Eckberg's is a high point.

Max von Sydow in "Seventh Seal"- the best "death" movie. His world weary, iconic knight is just brilliant. Strength in retention.

Cheers,

Bambi B
